Use provider.runtime to guess esbuild target

[Mihailoff]

A nice to have feature request.

Docs say

The default JavaScript syntax target is set to ES2017

Plugin could use provider.runtime to change the target accordingly

In my case I ended up with

provider:
  runtime: nodejs14.x
  
custom:
  esbuild:
    target: es2020

And thank you for the super fast compiler!

hi @Mihailoff, thanks for the request, it makes sense.
And all the kudos for the compiler goes to @evanw

Agreed this is a nice to have feature

One FYI, the target can actually be the Node version. Examples:

provider:
  runtime: nodejs14.x
  
custom:
  esbuild:
    target: node14

provider:
  runtime: nodejs12.x
  
custom:
  esbuild:
    target: node12

Source: https://esbuild.github.io/api/#target

That way you don't need to worry about which es version is compatible with which node version, esbuild already has that specific information to make sure the right features are used.
